"Luck?"
Lin Feng gave a half-smile.
"To be precise, I want to ride on your luck. My mother said that people who are protected by the Heavenly Dao are generally very lucky, almost like the Heavenly Dao's own children. So I think following you should bring you a lot of opportunities."
I see……
Lin Feng's fingers caressed the teacup.
It turns out that this girl mistook the evil curse spirit for divine protection. Without a doubt, these two are completely different things; one is a curse, and the other is a blessing. However, it seems not bad to let her continue to misunderstand like this. If she is discovered later, she can simply say that she did not know anything.
Having Shen Suobai by my side would be perfect for increasing her favorability, wouldn't it?
Lin Feng put down his teacup and said calmly, "I don't know much about what you mean by divine protection, but I have indeed had good luck since I was a child."
That solves it.
Shen Subai said earnestly, "I will reward you. My family is from the Southern Divine Region, and we are one of the top powers there. If you help me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."
Lin Feng simply smiled.
"That won't be necessary. I have a connection with Miss Shen, and I don't feel like I've given anything in return. It's just that you can stay by my side, which is fine. After the Dragon Ascension Celebration ends, you can stay with me for as long as you want."
After conquering Shen Subai, the next step is the Southern Divine Region, and her holy land will naturally be included. Lin Feng doesn't need to ask her for favors now; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"That won't do."
Shen Subai shook his head and said, "I'm not used to owing favors. If you haven't decided what you want, then save this opportunity. If you can't find something in the future, just come to me, and I'll fulfill any request you have."
Shen Subai's status in the Southern Divine Realm is equivalent to that of the Southern Divine Realm's little princess, and even higher than that of Shen Xiaohong in the Celestial Realm. Her prestige is self-evident.
"Yeah……"
Lin Feng stood up after drinking the tea.
"It's almost time, let's go check out the celebration."
"What's so interesting about that?"
Shen Subai pouted. To her, it was better to eat a few more pastries here than to watch those boring martial arts battles.
Lin Feng glanced at the empty plate and teased, "If Miss Chen wants to eat, I have plenty more here."
Having her thoughts read, she smiled sheepishly.
The two walked out of the dark room and came to the outer edge of the crowd around the arena. They did not go to meet up with Mo Ye and the others. However, Ling Hong was a sword spirit and had the nature to find its master. Therefore, after smelling Lin Feng's scent, it couldn't wait to come over.
"Young Master! And...Miss Shen?"
It must be said that when Shen Subai is not speaking, her appearance is quite deceptive; at least she looks very gentle. But once she speaks, her temperament changes for some reason, and she becomes quite unconventional.
"Hello."
Shen Subai blinked.
This little girl... she looks somewhat familiar.
Have we met before?
She shook her head, confirming that she had never seen Ling Hong before.
"How is the battle going?"
"It doesn't mean anything."
Ling Hong shook his head and said rather boredly, "The third round of the draw is coming up soon. Shen Xiaohong and the others were thinking of going to find you, but I smelled your scent nearby, so I stopped them."
"I reckon the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce will be resorting to some silly tricks later. I don't need to worry about Lin Ye. Just tell Shen Xiaohong to be careful."
As for Ye Lingya? He's not even on his radar.
Nowadays, the Zunxing Chamber of Commerce treats Shen Subai as an honored guest, wishing they could worship her. Now that they see Shen Subai and Lin Feng together, they naturally won't send anyone to cause trouble. But the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce is different. Luo Jiang is a much more cunning guy than Fan Xing.
Not long after, Ye Lingya, who had just been called away by the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce, returned to the vicinity of the arena and immediately approached Lin Feng and the other two upon seeing them.
"Brother Lin, Miss Linghong, and... Miss Shen."
After politely greeting everyone, Ye Lingya said with a gloomy expression, "Brother Lin, were you called away by the Zunxing Chamber of Commerce just now?"
"Yes... but Chairman Fan didn't say anything. He wanted to win me over, but I refused. It's that simple."
Did Fan Xing show any dissatisfaction?
"No."
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
It's obvious even to a fool that Ye Lingya must have been threatened by that bastard Luo Jiang, otherwise why would he have such a depressed expression?
As expected, Ye Lingya cursed angrily.
“The three of you are inappropriate. I was just summoned away by the warriors of the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce. That Luo Jiang actually dared to threaten me! He said that if I don’t join the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce and serve them, he will not only send people to hunt me down in the future, but he will even attack the village where I used to live! What a bunch of beasts!”
"And what about you?"
"Of course I refused!"
Ye Lingya's eyes widened.
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, okay! I will absolutely not be used by Luo Jiang! That old bastard doesn't seem to have any good intentions, he's disgusting!"
"Then why don't you go back to the village and take a look? Since you rejected Luo Jiang, he might have already sent people to harm the ordinary people in the village."
In the endless sea, the lives of mortals are not worth much; they are even less than those of animals.
Ye Lingya shook his head.
"I won't go back yet. I've made quite a few martial arts friends before, and I've already asked them to help keep an eye on things around the village. I'll think about how to repay them when I see them again."
Lin Feng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Fifteen minutes later, the third round of drawing lots began. Lin Feng and the others returned to Shen Xiaohong and Mo Ye's side. They saw Shen Subai following behind Lin Feng. Although they were puzzled, they did not ask any questions.
When Lin Feng received the wooden stick, he heard Ye Lingya beside him curse angrily.
His opponent was a veteran expert at the first level of the Divine Soul Realm. Needless to say, that person must be a henchman recruited by the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce. Luo Jiang looked at Ye Lingya with a cold smile, and his icy gaze was terrifying.
It was clear that he had no intention of hiding anything; he wanted Ye Lingya to know just how serious the consequences of offending the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce were!
"Heh, it seems it's not just you."
Mo Ye let out a cold laugh devoid of any emotion.
"Young Master."
He shook the wooden stick in his hand and saw that the person opposite him was an old man who was smiling at Mo Ye and even waving hello.
"He is actually the leader of a powerful force, with a cultivation level of the third level of the Divine Soul Realm, and also a seeded contestant for the Dragon Ascension Gate Celebration."
Lin Feng subconsciously looked over the wooden stick in his hand.
The figure was a martial artist cloaked in black, whose cultivation level and name were unknown. He stood silently on the outermost edge, his cold eyes scrutinizing Lin Feng, his gaze as still as a stagnant pool, devoid of any emotion.
But Ye Lingya's expression changed drastically when he saw that person.
"It's...it's a wooden puppet!"
"How could it be him! Wasn't he supposed to have died years ago?!"
